Christmas seasons past appreciated

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have a commercial-free Thanksgiving and Christmas? Imagine a commercial-free Santa Claus parade. Oh my!

I used to love the Jordan Marsh parade in Boston, before they became Macy's. There were no -- absolutely no -- stores open, and Jordan's employees held the big character balloons.

My daddy used to take me to Boston on the train and walk to Tremont Street and Boston Common. Just daddy and me for the day, at least till dinnertime.

We are not supposed to say Merry Christmas anymore; are we supposed to forget what Christmas is really celebrated for? I hope not because Christmas was always a magical day. Unfortunately, the media only focuses on the commercial side of the holiday.
